Grandpa Chuck and Grandma Kathy

We have been fortunate enough to have Brian's parents in town for a couple of weeks to visit us. They are only able to be here for 2 weeks this time, so we try to spend as much time with them as we can. We usually have dinner with them every night and spend time as a family on the weekends. I know their days are a little long because the grandkids are in school and of course, Brian and I have to be at work, so once everybody gets home we go to their place and have dinner and hang out. The kids love spending time with them for many reasons, but they really enjoy that Grandma and Grandpa play board and card games with them almost every day after school. The kids are spoiled by grandma who "tickles" them, something that started when they were babies. She takes her fingers and lightly rubs their arms, they melt in her hands when she does that. The kids fight over who gets to sit by grandma because they know she will "tickle" who every is there.

This past weekend, after church we drove up to Estes Park to see the beautiful leaves changing colors and walk around downtown. I love going to Estes, and so does Brian's mom, so it is usually the only time I get to go up there. We did some shopping and of course had to buy some yummy taffy. After shopping, Grandpa took us out to dinner, we had a very good day. We are looking forward to a few more of those days before they head back to Florida.
